"Everyday Remnants" is a high-contrast, unique digital art design featuring rich blues and greens with hints of teal, aqua and turquoise. It's perfect for the artsy person in your life who appreciates bold lines and intense, textured contrast. Although it's completely digital, the results remind me (and others who have remarked) of stained glass. Black, curved lines were first placed all over the surface. To the spaces in between, color was added. The first draft featured a simple, clean 5-color palette. On additional layers, patterns (one-dimensional flowers and sunbursts) were distributed then smudged, and sometimes erased. Through a many-step Photoshop process, effects, filters and blending options were applied. This is original though one of many results that take the design to other levels with additional color experimentation. Merchandise is available with this artwork, and more will be added that features some of the alternate versions of this design. Because it's too much fun not to explore to the limits.
